Can anyone explain to me why in amd64 I have the file /var/cache/apt/available but not on i386 On both computers I have apt-get version 0.6.44.2
I have updated and done all strange things on two i386 computers but the file does not appear. There are currently 953 bug reports on dselect so I would like to make my report a little bit more specific before sending it.
